SNMPTRAPD(8)					     SNMPTRAPD(8)

NAME
       snmptrapd - Receive and log snmp trap messages.

SYNOPSIS
       snmptrapd  [-h]	[-P] [-s] [-p port] [-d] [-e] [-D tokens]
       [-l [d0-7]] [-f] [-H] [-a] [-O oidopts] [-C] [-c confFile]

DESCRIPTION
       Snmptrapd  is  an  SNMP application that receives and logs
       snmp trap messages sent to the SNMP-TRAP port (162) on the
       local machine.

       The log messages are of the form:
       Sep 17 22:39:52 suffern snmptrapd: 128.2.13.41: Cold Start
       Trap (0) Uptime: 8 days, 0:35:46

       Snmptrapd must be run as root so that UDP port 162 can  be
       opened.

COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS
       -h     Print a usage summary and exit.

       -P     Print the logged messages to stdout.

       -p port
	      Specifies the port to run on, if the default 162 is
	      not desired.

       -s     Log the messages to syslog(8).  These  syslog  mes-
	      sages  are  sent with the level of LOG_WARNING, and
	      to the LOG_LOCAL0 facility (by default).	The demon
	      will also fork away from its caller when the syslog
	      facilities are used.  This is  the  default  unless
	      the '-P' flag is used.

       -l [d0-7]
	      Specifies	 the  syslog  facility	to  use, demon or
	      local[0-7].

       -a     makes snmptrapd ignore AuthenticationFailure traps

       -d     Causes the application to	 dump  input  and  output
	      packets.

       -D     Turn debugging output on.

       -f     Don't  fork  away	 from  the caller when using sys-
	      log().

       -O oidopts
	      Set OID printing options (see snmpcmd(1))

       -C     Don't read the default set of configuration  files.
